The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) has been busy answering questions about administration of sick leave under the New York City Earned Sick Time Act.  In light of ambiguities in the law and regulations, the DCA has released new Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQS”) to provide additional guidance on the Act’s application to per diem and on call employees, the circumstances under which employees must provide advance notice of the need to use sick leave, and employer recordkeeping obligations, among other topics.

For more information about the New York City Earned Sick Time Act, please refer to our prior blog posts or contact your Proskauer relationship attorney.
